I just waffle on this one. I think from his sitting position, she is in the exact spot a person would be to get the shot in. Once the M.E. examined the contents of the brain, it was mostly liquid, so he cannot determine if the bullet passed through the brain, or really just grazed the inside skull (it is almost a graze wound of the face, it goes across the face (sinus), eye brow straight down the under left eye, but does pass through the skull) He said he feels it would have to pass through the brain even though he can't see that it touched the brain, because the brain takes up the full skull cavity and if the bullet went in, and it did, then it touched the front edge of that right front lobe area. So I don't know. I just want someone to help explain in that tight awkward shower stall area, how she got a sideways arm with enough thrust to incapacitate him and not have him just fend off the knife? UNLESS she got him in the neck/throat and he held his throat...I saw Mr Martinez demonstrate facing the same way as the court reporter, he can come up next to him (like Jodi crouched next to Travis) and back handed, thrust it in.
